For the 8pm FIFA World Cup matches on Friday, June 19, and Monday, June 22, BART is offering fans special late-night service after midnight to get riders home. These late-night matches will put fans onto trains during a time BART is usually closed.

Fans must begin their trips at Bay Fair, Dublin, MacArthur, El Cerrito del Norte, Fremont, Hayward, Pleasant Hill, Powell Street, South Hayward, Union City, or Warm Springs/South Fremont stations. All other stations are closed after midnight.

Unlike many rail systems around the country, BART will not be implementing surge pricing for FIFA. Riders will pay the regular fare. Use Tap and Ride to pay directly at the fare gate by tapping your credit/debit card or mobile payment. Each person needs their own phone/card. No transit card/ticket is required.

Special limited-express, late-night service for 8pm matches (June 19 and 22)

BART will add the following special event trains after midnight that will be timed with the last VTA trains coming from the stadium. There is not a timetable for these departure times because it depends on how long it takes to clear the stadium and get to BART on VTA. But overall, they will likely depart Milpitas every 30 minutes between 12:30am-1:40am.

These special event trains WILL NOT STOP AT ALL BART STATIONS. The trains will only serve Bay Fair, Dublin/Pleasanton, MacArthur, El Cerrito del Norte, Fremont, Hayward, Pleasant Hill, Powell Street, South Hayward, Union City, and Warm Springs/South Fremont stations.

People taking BART to the stadium and driving to park at BART must leave their cars at these key Easy Bay stations for the return trip: Bay Fair, Dublin/Pleasanton, MacArthur, El Cerrito del Norte, Fremont, Hayward, Pleasant Hill, South Hayward, Union City, or Warm Springs/South Fremont. Note: Powell St Station in downtown San Francisco does not have parking.

The 56th annual San Francisco Pride Parade will be held on Sunday, June 28, and BART will increase service to carry participants to and from the festivities.

T Shirt: https://www.railgoods.com/bart-pride-t-shirt-2026.html

We encourage you to take BART and “ride with Pride” to get to and from the parade safely and expediently. Embarcadero, Montgomery St, Powell St, and Civic Center stations are all along the parade route (see rider guide).

BART will open at 8am and run 5-line service with trains roughly every 5 minutes through downtown San Francisco. Additional event trains will be dispatched as ridership warrants. After 9pm, BART will run 3-line service.

In the morning, event trains will bolster our service between Millbrae and Downtown San Francisco as well as between Pleasant Hill and Downtown San Francisco from 9:30 to 11am. Later in the day, event trains will start at 2pm and continue into the evening, supplementing scheduled service.

The parade begins at 10:30am at Market and Beale streets, closest to Embarcadero Station. It will end at Market and 8th streets, closest to Civic Center Station.

Riders should expect large crowds at Embarcadero Station before 10am and large crowds all day at Civic Center Station, as well as heavy ridership to and from all Downtown San Francisco stations and 16th St Mission Station. Riders are encouraged to use Montgomery St and Powell St instead of Civic Center or Embarcadero stations.

Plan your door-to-door trip using BART’s Trip Planner. Itineraries will include key transfer information. You can also check Real Time Departures for the stations you use. Parking at BART stations (except Milpitas and Berryessa stations) is free on weekends.

BART Board President Melissa Hernandez and General Manager Bob Powers have one goal: Get soccer fans on transit!

The world is coming to the Bay Area this summer for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and BART and our transit partners are ready to carry fans from across the globe to matches, watch parties, and events across the region.

BART is bolstering our staff and security presence, running longer trains, and will offer special limited-express service after midnight for late-night matches. BART will also deploy extra lighting at key station parking lots to enhance safety for fans returning from evening matches.

To assist visitors and occasional riders in navigating the system, special announcements will be made onboard trains about where to exit, and directional signage will be posted in stations to help visitors and occasional riders navigate the system.

Unlike many rail systems around the country, BART will not be implementing surge pricing for FIFA. Riders will pay the regular fare. Pay your fare by tapping your contactless debit/credit card or mobile payment right at the fare gates.

BART riders can now access free Wi-Fi 6E at four more heavily travelled stations, ensuring seamless connectivity for fans and residents ahead of FIFA World Cup-related events.

The four stations that recently went live are 16th St/Mission, 24th St/Mission, Glen Park and Balboa Park. Visitors to these stations are now provided with critical connectivity, especially during a busy ridership period with the Bay Area hosting an international event. The Wi-Fi access is essential for international visitors to communicate without a U.S. roaming plan.

This brings the total number of BART stations with free Wi-Fi to nine, following February’s launch at the first five stations — San Francisco International Airport, West Oakland, Embarcadero, Civic Center, and Powell Street.

This is a comprehensive digital transformation project that will bring state-of-the-art Wi-Fi connectivity to all BART stations over the next couple of years, followed by onboard connectivity on all BART trains.

The Wi-Fi is powered by Boldyn Networks, a leading neutral host provider. BART riders will access the SSID network named “BART Wi-Fi,” and no password or email is required. Sessions on the network will last 20 minutes, and users will be required to confirm they are still actively using the network beyond 20 minutes.

Once users select to join the BART Wi-Fi network, their device will present an option to connect automatically. If that option is selected, their device will remember the SSID. When within the coverage area of the network, their device will automatically join the SSID, and a captive portal page will be presented to ensure they are still active on the network.

“Providing high-quality Wi-Fi is part of our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our riders and enhancing the customer experience through reliable connectivity,” said Ravi Misra, Assistant General Manager of Technology at Bay Area Rapid Transit. “Boldyn partnered with us to deliver this second phase of upgrades as the region prepares to host the FIFA World Cup, with additional improvements coming in the months and years ahead.”

“As we get closer to the most important international sports event of the year, we are proud of our partnership with BART and the visible progress we’re making in connecting more tunnels and stations with our fiber, Wi-Fi and 5G technology,” said Dana Tardelli, Chief Operating Officer of Boldyn Networks, US. “A well-connected transport infrastructure will provide an unforgettable experience for the millions of locals and visitors getting to different destinations in the area to watch their favorite teams play”.

Wi-Fi connectivity is expected to be deployed at BART’s remaining stations in phases, with full project completion by early 2028.

Yesterday was BART's busiest single day since the pandemic with 235,943 trips!

While we can thank Ariana Grande, the Valkyries and the Giants for packing in big crowds, ridership was up across the whole system yesterday as more and more people continue to choose transit.
